Armistice: Living with the Peace

Tuesday 25 September to Saturday 2 February at 10:00 AM

The Collections Gallery, Open Treasure

On 11 November 1918 an armistice ended the war in Western Europe, although peace would not fully return for many more months. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of this momentous event, this exhibition explores what it meant for the people of Durham and North East England as World War I ended, soldiers came home, and peace was gradually restored.

Visitors to Armistice: Living with the Peace enjoy access to the full Open Treasure exhibition experience.
Open Monday to Saturday, 10am – 5pm (last entry 4pm) and Sundays, 12.30pm – 5pm (last entry 4pm).

Tickets: £2.50 - £7.50 (under 5s free, family ticket £17.50) available from the Visitor Desk in the Cathedral and in advance from www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/visit/what-to-visit/open-treasure/book.
